This tool gives you a series of reports that allow you to dive into their backlinks. The Backlinks tab shows you all their backlinks, the Referring Domains tab breaks them down by domain, and the Referring Pages tab shows you their most important pages in terms of attracting links from other domains.
By ranking your competitors' referring domains by Authority Score , you can see exactly which links are helping them the most in terms of SEO and authority.
The Referring Pages report will show you which URLs on a competing domain are the most popular to place links to.
Much like studying the Pages report in Organic Search, studying which URLs have the most backlinks and referring domains can help you understand how to make your content attractive to external sources.
